Since Twitter went to X its caused problems. Replace X with Twitter, cut the link and then paste again, I find that works.

I'd quite like to see Rock vs Reigns setting PLE records in Australia and Cody beating Reigns at Mania. But I can't see The Rock going from refusing to lose to Reigns at WrestleMania 39 to agreeing to lose to Reigns at a lesser PLE 11 months later. Plus Triple H has a fetish for all his Champions to hold titles forever so I imagine Roman Reigns will beat The Rock at WrestleMania, have another break, pass Hulk Hogan's record and then lose to Cody at Summerslam.

Can’t wait for Birmingham to get on the fringes of the play offs in 2025 and decide they need an upgrade. That’s the Tony Mowbray guarantee.

I think they'll have more punch now. They don't lack effort but they lack quality after losing Berge and N'Diaye. At least this is a step in the right direction.

Feel free. I'd love to know how many elite footballers in England you've worked with that have led you to the conclusion that they're 'massive liars' so the England captain must be one.

I've been fortunate enough through work to meet a fair number of people in football and the large majority of people have been kind and give up far more of there free time to good causes than people would realise. They're certainly not 'massive liars'. Maybe you should stereotype a field of people that you don't know?

Just thought I'd chuck in that spoilt Kieran Trippier very quickly became fluent in Spanish.

Hes from Stoke so it's likely he became fluent in Spanish when he was at primary school.

Yeah, I hope we're still trying to get him.

Maybe they would trade Kimmich for Phillips.

The fact that it's in the public domain is presumably an attempt to flush out other interest. West Ham have been interested previously. If they do want the loan back they're going to have to compromise on the fee. He has 18 months left on his contract, 12 in the summer, and if they don't get promoted they'll be forced to sell because they are in financial problems. I'd imagine the reality is they would quite like the money for the deal with 18 months left rather than 12, but still want him because they could get promoted. If we can't offload one of Tomkins or Ferguson I would be happy with a loan back. It sounds like Ronnie Edwards is a future England International and would be a great long term addition, but we've got too many defenders registered at present because we decided to keep the deadwood last summer and add to it with Rob Holding.

Stoke have a knack of signing players that I'm impressed with and then they seemingly go on to do nothing.
